The word “nebula<\/strong>” is derived from the Latin word for “clouds”. Indeed, a nebula is a cosmic cloud of gas and dust floating in space. A nebula is a huge, diffuse cloud of gas and dust in intergalactic space. The gas in nebulae (the plural of nebula) is mostly\u00a0hydrogen\u00a0gas (H2<\/sub><\/span>).<\/p>\n

More than one nebula are called nebulae. Nebulae are the basic building blocks of the universe. They contain the elements from which stars and solar systems are built.<\/p>\n

They glow with rich colours of reds, blues and greens with swirls of light. Stars inside these clouds of gas cause them to glow in colours.<\/p>\n

Most nebulae are composed of about 90% hydrogen, 10% helium, and 0.1% heavy elements such as carbon, nitrogen, magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron. These clouds of matter are also quite large. In fact, they are among the largest objects in the galaxy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
